Method

  • step 1

    First, make the marinade. Whisk the hoisin sauce, red bean curd (along with the sauce from the can), the soy sauces, rice wine, garlic and 3 tbsp honey together. Tip half into a large bowl with the pork, reserving the rest of the marinade for basting later. Season the pork, toss to coat and chill for 5 hrs to marinate.

  • step 2

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Transfer the pork to a roasting tin and roast for 30 mins.

  • step 3

    Meanwhile, mix the remaining marinade with the rest of the honey. Brush over the pork every 10 mins, so it’s evenly coloured. Serve with the rice and pak choi, and the spring onions scattered over.

Recipe tip

Make pork egg fu yung
Chop up any leftover char sui and mix with beaten eggs, soy sauce and any sliced spring onion and other stir-fry veg you’ve got. Heat sunflower oil in a non-stick frying pan, and cook the pork and egg mixture as an omelette on both sides until golden.

Help! I’m struggling to find red bean curd! Any suggestions for a substitute please.

Hi, thanks for your question. You can use 1 tbsp miso paste instead. Red or brown will be most similar, but white miso is also fine. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

Absolutely delicious recipe! Would definitely cook again.

Delicious! I think I would also increase marinade next time so can drizzle over the rice but was really tasty

Really yummy!

Delicious! I served with pak choi and bulked out with some cavolo Nero. The second time I made it I also doubled the amount of marinade I made so that there was extra to drizzle on the rice and veggies. Fab recipe, full of flavour and super easy!
